19/10 Sere now at 338days from last service 340 from 2nd last date. 5 days
before foaling. Foal has been very active kicking and bouncing around in past two
days but quiet today and Sere is changing shape. Foal appears to be moving into
birth canal as flanks becoming more hollow and tummy a little more pointed.As a
result bulges either side less obvious from behind.

Not the best of photos but
the firm channelling in front
of udder can just be seen.
Note the lack of filling in
actual udder. Nipples have
disappeared into the centre
crease.

The crease in the udder is

Udder from back. This
photo is a little deceptive
due to the angle of the shot
appears larger than it really
is. Skin covering udder is
starting to flake off, the
crease in center with nipples
disappearing into it quite
evident.
